Is the Offshore Storm Subtropical?
      #74537 - Mon May 07 2007 07:10 AM

May 8th, 10:15AM update
The NHC has released a special statement on the hybrid (warm/cold core) low area, and the NRL is now tracking the system as 90L.

May 8, 9:30 AM Update
The not-tropcal low pressure off the southeastern US coastline is looking a bit more subtropical this morning, with scattered (oddly so) convection closer to the center. So it will likely wind up being a judgment call at the Hurricane Center to determine if this system gets named or not. There is a recon flight scheduled for tomorrow to check it out if it maintains this.

What's going against this low being subtropical is the dry air surrounding the low, and the fact that it has been weakening (or transitioning). It should continue to weaken as it approaches the mainland. Much of the windspeed decrease is more due to the high pressure moving away and the pressure gradient relaxing, however.

It should be slowly weakening as it moves west and south, as it does so the winds will continue to cause issues along the shore and for the fire outbreaks in Florida and Georgia.



Original Article
A few people have been talking about it, but there is a Nor'easter (Cold core, frontal, extratropical low pressure) system that has developed off the coast of North Carolina, combined with an adjacent High Pressure, is causing rather gusty winds across the southeast and Florida.

This system is currently projected to move south and eventually near north Florida near Jacksonville on Wednesday. Some models project it moving back northeast and disappate it , and some have it going into Florida.
As this is not a true tropical system, you won't see charts or graphs, but since it's fairly close to Hurricane season it is worth a mention. People along the coast will feel the winds from the system and the gradient with the high pressure even more.

There is a small chance it may pick up tropical or subtropical characteristics as it goes southward. One of the things that is keeping that from happening is the fact that there is a stationary front along with the storm, although it has become more cut off since this morning. This system isn't likely to do all that much and if it were to get into Florida it would probably fall apart very quickly, but it is still something to watch even as an non-tropical system as things could change.

There was mention in this mornings TWD that the system may lose its frontal characteristics, and there is some suggestion it is seperating from the frontal zone to its NE as it moves SSW. However, this mention has disappeared from the latest TWD.

We got a pretty good sustained wind (25-30 mph) begining last night around 10PM and continuing on through this morning after the front moved through yesterday.

In New Smyrna Beach, south of Daytona, branches have fallen overnight and the wind gusts are still strong. Don't these storms have *any* sense of shame, giving us a foretaste of what is to come almost one month early?!

Oh boy - I sure hope that this early storm (even not a tropical one) will not set a tone for the rest of this summer

It would just about figure, hurricane shutters installed on the new condo last month, not looking forward to trying them out so soon.
Anyway, this should prove to be an interesting one to follow when it hits the gulfstream.

Water Temps jump up several degrees in that area and, of course, as it moves to the southwest, the water warms quite a bit as well. You east-coasters are in for a rough couple of days!!

Is there a chance it could become a subtropical? [Re: HCW]
      #74547 - Mon May 07 2007 11:32 AM

The imagery on the loops is incredible.

So, I am trying to understand the parameters better.

Really winding up, really moving towards Florida.

Thanks

Really impressive circulation, given the conditions. This may not bode well for the rest of the season.

The one I think they are talking about is this:

Tropical Floater 1 (NHC)

This is the GOES floater satellite loop. YOu can find it at the National Hurricane Center website...click 'satellite' then scroll down to the different satellite data links. This storm is on Floater 1. Good Luck!!

Bouy 41001 info indicates a spike in pressure lowering intensity a bit. I guess this may be typical of this type of subtropical storm.

Your mention of the Gulf Stream prompted me to research where the GS starts or ends (depending on how you look at it).
It was interesting to me that this system is near an area called the Charleston Bump. This is an area that appears to turn the current Easterly. There is a counterclockwise rotation in that area. Any ideas or theories anyone?

Actually the system should be moving away from the buoy. The low is drifting to the SW, maybe a little more west now of south...(rapid scan floater is on the system) If you go back and look at the history at the buoy, see that winds got up to 54kts at midnight (gust to 70kts) and about the same time as the lowest pressure reading... 29.64. but as the system moves away... would see the pressure rise and winds relax. Just kinda crazy to see 40ft sea's that close to the SE at this time of the year!

Good point. Too bad we can't see data from Bouy 41002.

yeah, 41002 went adrift back in Feb. Don't know when it will return, but bet it will be before June 1st!
This Water Vapor imagery is very nice. Look at the all that dry air and that flow around the system, don't get to see this to often.

That WOULD be nice...wonder when that one gets replaced...anyhow, looking at the water temp data from a few of these buoys in the direction that the storm seems to be heading....
41001 - east of Cape Hatteras - 67.1
51025 - due west of 41001 near shore - 64.4
41036 - southwest along coast near Wilmington- 68.0
41013 - southwest on coast near Myrtle Beach - 68.7
41004 - near coast of Charleston - 69.4
41008 - just east of Savannah - 70.5
41012 - just east of Jacksonville - 73.0
41010 - about 200m east of Cape Canaveral - 75.0
41009 - just off of Cape Canaveral - 75.2
looks like the water may cool just slightly as it moves sw, then will warm up quite a bit if it continues to the south or sw......gotta look at the model runs before my 7th period class gets here:-)

Wow - that water vapor is awesome!

I wonder if all that dry air will wrap up and choke it off?
